Question Please Help: New build, frequent and various BSODs
Hello everyone,
I've just assembled a new gaming setup as described below:
MSI mag b650m mortar wifi
Ryzen 5 7600x
Rtx 2060 (purchased a year ago and used in my previous system)
Corsair vengeance ddr5-5200 16g x2 CMK32GX5M2B5200C40 *MSI stated CMK32GX5M2B5200C38 is compatible, but not ...40. 8( is this the problem?
Samsung 980 pro 1tb m.2
SilverStone 750W PSU SST-ET750-HG V1.2
Corsair h100i RGB elite
Prior to installing Windows, I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
Right after Windows 11 was installed, I started encountering BSODs at random intervals, accompanied by various error codes such as:
System service exception : win32kbase.sys
Page fault in non paged area : win32kfull.sys
pfn list corrupt
irql not less or equal : ntoskrnl.exe
unexpected kernal mode trap
After a clean Windows install, I updated all drivers via Device Manager and resolved the alerts.
Concerned by reports that the recent Windows 11 update triggered BSODs, but the initial crashes occurred before the update was applied, I proceeded to install all available updates, including the one mentioned.
Regarding diagnostics, I ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic, which initially flagged hardware issues. The event viewer reported two errors. Details are extensive, so I've included them below.
sfc scannow detected problems but couldn't resolve them all
dsim, if I remember correctly, identified and fixed errors? I'll recheck it now.
chkdsk indicated no issues overall; chkdsk /f repaired the disk.
I booted in safe mode—no BSODs, though Chrome would close abruptly while searching for driver updates.
I attempted another SFC Scannow in safe mode via command prompt, which still triggered a BSOD without identifying specific codes. I decided to reattempt it now.
No BSOD this time, but some errors remain unresolved.
To sum up, while the Blue Screen Troubleshooting option suggested a memory problem, the Memory Diagnostic showed no clear faults. I'm considering purchasing new memory from MSI as a possible solution.
Appreciate your attention.
Best, Jamey
It might be possible, though not certain. What I can share is your RAM uses Intel XMP 3, which is tailored for Intel systems. With AMD, you should have considered EXPO instead...but you likely didn’t know about that, and I made the same error myself.
What I can convey is my own experience with XMP on a 7600X wasn’t favorable, and I eventually had to sell it after trying EXPO. I faced boot problems and unexpected shutdowns, which ultimately pointed back to the RAM.

I've attempted, following some previous discussions, to test the memory individually in each slot. The first stick caused a crash during boot. The second stick is working now for roughly ten minutes, but I'm about to run a memory diagnostic. So far, no crashes, but the diagnostic indicates a hardware issue and the event viewer keeps showing memory errors.
Well indeed. It seems I messed up with my research there. I think I'll put this rig aside until I can get a fresh memory and make sure I hit the expo one. Now that I'm aware of it, I see it all the time...
🙄
Luckily, my old rig still functions perfectly if I reinstall the 2060.
Thanks for the tip.
Cheers,
Ensure the CMOS is cleared after changing the memory, or problems may persist...and don't worry if it takes a moment to submit the first time, as this is normal testing the updated settings.
I haven't built a 7000 series PC from scratch yet and have seen they are quite sensitive with RAM. The RAM I purchased was on the QVL, but I faced problems with the EXPO profiles. It has required me to install the newest BIOS and the third released EXPO profile (EXPO tweaked) to get my system working properly.
